To be more specific, they’re voting on the bill plus the Corker/Hoeven amendment. My prediction: 72 yes votes, despite the phony border-security “triggers” and despite the fact that the bill now reeks of “Cornhusker Kickback”-style buyoffs to bring fencesitting Republicans on board. No matter. Schumer’s goal was 70 and I expect he’ll get it, which will help him with his exciting new “there’ll be mass demonstrations if the House doesn’t pass this thing” talking point.
Did you know that amnesty for illegals is a “civil rights” issue? You do now:
“This has the potential of becoming the next major civil rights movement. I could envision in the late summer or early fall if Boehner tries to bottle the bill up or put something in without a path to citizenship — if there’s no path to citizenship, there’s not a bill — but if he tries to bottle it up or do things like that, I could see a million people on the Mall in Washington,” Schumer said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Schumer said business leaders, evangelical leaders and CEOs of high tech companies would join the public call for action by the House on immigration.
He’s kidding himself if he thinks that summer will bring pressure on the House to pass, rather than kill, the bill, but never mind that......

Stop Amnesty.
Tell congressmen we don’t want ANY bill passed, no matter what they promise. This bill is Amnesty for 30 million illegals, and a 1000 page bill that brings in 80 million 3rd world immigrants. The bill will destroy the U.S. and will turn the USA into a socialist state as is the democrats/Obama’s plan.

I am more interested in learning where I can get some of that pork-laced ammo.
AND NOT ONE COJON=LESS SENATOR WILL FORCE THE READING OF THE BILL.
Excuse the shouting, but I have lost all patience with those who are “opposing” the bill. They are crying crocodile tears, yet they don’t do the one thing that can stop this dead in its tracks. Reading the bill and the attendant points of order to explain it would doom the bill.
I no respect for anyone in Versailles on the Potomac that votes without reading. F Them All.
Just got through to Rubio’s office. I told him I am from Florida and do not want this immigration bill voted for in any manner. He said he would pass it on to him.
Corker (R) puts the nail in the coffin of America.
He says: The CBO SAYS ....
and he wants the Republicans to believe and obey
and then vote for the 1000 page bill no one has read.
I just got through to John Mica’s office and told him not to vote for this immigration bill in any manner and they asked for my zip code. I gave it and then they either hung up on me or accidentally cut me off.
How does one Senator force a public reading of the bill?
Sen. Sessions tries to save America
by explaining Reid will work out the details
in 24 hours and he “can hear the whistle
of the train moving away”.
I cannot, for the life of me, understand why ANYBODY would vote for this. WTF is wrong with these people?
The cork’s got to pop soon.
I can’t resist an aside in this amnesty debacle: Schumer bears a striking resemblance to what I picture Mephistopheles looking like, though Mephistopheles may be the one taking offense in that comparison.
They know its over. Their only answer is to import millions of Democrat voters. The economy collapses and the UN takes over. Presto: world government.
I don’t have a very good connection, but if that’s laughter and frivolity I hear in the background at times, I’m even MORE disgusted. This is a serious matter. “Sense of the senate” is becoming an oxymoron.
Why no vote tally on cspan.org? Cannot even tell if anyone has voted yet. They are up to M. Are they voting or just milling around?
Uh...so exactly what statute grants this alleged "civil right"? Article, section subsection please.
Without reading it. This should work out well.
